There are specific regulations if you want to use your foreign driver´s license in Germany.
If you are a citizen of the EU or the European Economic Area, your driver´s license will be accepted if:

You have, at the date of issuance, already lived in the country of issuance for at least 185 days and

The foreign license is still valid

In that case you are not obliged to apply for a German driving license.

If you are a third-country-national (non-EU or European Economic Area citizen) and have a driving license, you may use your foreign driver´s license for 6 months after legal residence, if:

You have, at the date of issuance, already lived in the country of issuance for at least 185 days and

The foreign license is still valid

If you want to use your foreign driver's license for more than 6 months in Germany, there is a possibility of converting it into an unlimited German driver's license.
Check this list
to see whether additional classes and tests are required for converting it.

If your home country is not included in the list above, you need to take both the theoretic and practical (driving) exams in Germany, which require driving lessons and theory units at a driving school.

You are principally not allowed to drive a car in Germany if you only have a provisional driver's license or a driver's license which still requires an exam in the country of issuance.
Licenses of that type may not be converted. Exceptions can be found in the already mentioned list.
To have your driver´s license converted, the following documents are necessary:

passport or ID

original foreign driving license and translation in German

photo

You have to present your driver's license recognition application, with the documents listed above, to the licensing authority of the municipality.
It is important to underline that for this service, you will have to pay an administrative fee. More about the offices here.

The driver's license exam consists of two parts, the theoretical test and the practical (driving) exam. While the theoretical test can be taken in English and in 10 other languages
(Turkish, Russian, French, Italian, Croatian, Polish, Portuguese, Rumanian, Spanish and Greek), the driving part has to be taken in German and the presence of an interpreter is not allowed.
Driving schools rarely offer theory lessons in English. It is more common that the lessons are taken in German, whereas the exercises and training tests can be taken in English
(or one of the 10 languages above). There are driving schools that offer practical lessons in specific foreign languages, such as Arabic, English, Russian and Turkish.

In any case, a minimum number of hours of theory and practical lessons is required in order to be able to take the exams.
